I want to express my sincere thanks to J. Mac McClellan for your excellent article. This is an article that i was awaiting for a long time. The article of a lifetime! Iwas always asking to myself what was like to fly a jet and this article exhaustively discuss all the subjets and removes all my doubts!
Congratulations! It is a memorable article.

I too enjoed MacClellan's articles, they are always well informed and witty. Amd I think he should not go. He should at least remain in the flyng staff !! of all the articles on flyng.com at this moment the most part are his articles.

Reno Crash Update: Telemetry Data Emerges

I agree with most of the other comments, but as always the causes may be several not just one, sureley flutter and G induced loss of consciousness may have been among these. But i'm thinking at the people who lost their lives, looking at the accident from what showed in television here in Italy, i instantly noticed that the spectators were too much near to the runway.
It seems to me that the safety distance of the people was too short, and that in my opininon should be increased.
New Eclipse

I have read with much interest the article on the Eclipse Aerospace EA500, by Robert Goyer which makes a good account of recent and past events; neverthless I as engineer am interested in thechnical and economic info so i would like to ask to Goyer or somebody else the info that the article lacks. These are:
1)The price listed is the of the airplane refurbished but at least approximately how much it will cost totally new with zero flight hours.
2) it is reported an hourly cost of $600 but how much is the hourly fuel consumption; only 900 lb of thrust should result in a low fuel consumption.
3) why is the fuselage tapered toward the tail? Is it to keep the wheight low?
And i think that Eclipse should abandon the sidesticks which they adopted, i think for econimical reason, for conventional yokes.
Anyway, after all, I think this is a beatiful airplane and a very nice novelty!!

Cessna's New Jet: The Citation M2

The winglets seem out of place! If a plane has winglets it should be fast!! 400 knots is good, but not so fast. I know that other manufacturers have added winglets but this is clean sheet design, so i think cessna should think well.
